Tutoring Services

Point Park Tutoring Services provides professional and peer tutors for students who seek assistance in their coursework. We offer both online and on-ground assistance. In addition, students may receive guidance with effective study strategies, such as organization, time management, note-taking techniques, and exam preparation. Students can access Point Park’s tutor-scheduling software through https://pointpark.mywconline.com. This system will allow students to schedule one-on-one tutoring appointments and to upload documents for review.

The Center for Student Success makes a reasonable effort to meet the tutoring needs of students in a wide variety of courses.  However, we may not be able to honor every request due to limited tutor availability or inability to locate a qualified tutor.
